If you have a DID line (Anlagenanschluss), you need to set isdnmode=did.
Otherwise chan-capi will not wait for additional digits.

In DID mode, chan-capi will collect all digits until a match is
found in the dialplan. If a match would be possible if further
digits are received, chan-capi will wait. If a match is not possible
any more, the call is now ignored by chan-capi (maybe another 
CAPI application is interested).

If they know that they have to pay ;-)
